With the current economic climate it is even more important to present yourself appropriately in the workplace while sending the right message, whether it is for a job interview or when meeting your clients or colleagues. By developing a capsule wardrobe of basic pieces (such a dresses, suits, jackets or coats, etc ) that you can mix and match, you can be confident of looking your best in any business situation. The looks will vary with the type of work you do:
1. If you work ,for example, in law, banking, finance, or high level corporate business, you need to appear authoritative, conservative, and competent. Wear skirt or trousers suits and classic dresses in high quality and subdued style and colour. But this does not mean you have to look boring. Even a traditional grey suit can express your individuality, with accessories drawn from your personal style and colours from your seasonal colour palette.
2. If you work in insurance, teaching, or sales, the message to send is one of trust, approachability, and knowledge. Your clothes should include unmatched suits, jacketed dresses, or jumpers teamed with tailored trousers
3. If you are working in a more creative job, for instance advertising, art, fashion, or entertainment, the message to send would be creative, individual, or contemporary. The styles of clothes should be flamboyant styles with brighter colours or unique accessories.
